All rights reserved Library of Congress Catalog Card No. 73-116486 International Standard Book No. 0-8048-0794-9 First printing, 1971 PRINTED IN JAPAN cfilntrrrhnrtion to family histories in Saco Valley Settlements Saco Valley is a veritable treasureland of history. Its rich lodes have produced a wealth of American legend and tradition extending back more than 300 years. The picturesque Saco River starts in North Central New Hampshire and winds southeasterly. It passes near Fryeburg, Maine, a beautiful resort area today, but where in 1725, Indians brought to a disastrous end Lovewell's expedition against them. Robert E. Peary, the famous Arctic explorer, li ved in Fryeburg as a boy and surveyed in the area. Saco, i\Iaine, is equally famous. Located at the falls of the Saco River, opposite Biddeford, it was settled in 1631. A legislative and judicial "court." the first in :\Iaine, was held in Saco in 1640. Saco suffered Indian raids in the 17th and 18th centuries, raids and massacres vividly described by G. T. Ridlon, Sr., author of the monumental work, Saco Valley Settlements and Families. Ridlon had personal contact " with relatives whose mothers' slumber had been disturbed by the red man's startling war whoop." T he author talked with men who had vivid recollections of the French War and the fall of Louisburg; his grandfather was acquainted with those who served as scouts against Pequawket Indians. It is only natural, then, that a region so rich in the stuff that Americans cherish should yield noted personages and families. 128 of whom are included in. Ridlon's immense work. This family hi story is reprinted from that work, and is representative of those noted families and sturdy pioneers who were so much in the mainstream of early American history. Fortunate is the individual whose family tree was included in Ridlon's masterwork, "a conservatory of valuable data, rescued from scattered and frai l documents and vanishing traditions of the Saco Valley." The author has bequeathed rare and authentic Americana to the descend­ ants of those families, who naturally take great pride in their hcritage­ and in their treasured genealogical heirloom. John Leavitt was the New England head of this family; he came over with the Pilgrims in 16301 and settled at Dorse*er, Mass., where he lived for some time, but fin;ti'y removed to JljQFbtf, w ere his grave is still pointed out. Some descendants early settle m ampton, N. H., and numerous off­ shoots have become dispersed abroad. Joseph Leavitt, 1 a ta£°ner\{rom old York, was the immediate progenitor of iliose of Buxton nativ1 y. e purchased lands in Narragansett, No. 11 in 17 52 , but we-=- no evidence that he settled in the township. He was, how­ ever, one of the early mill builders on Little river in 1761.

Watson: But I got hung up in a different way. Just as I was getting in my car, my trousers got caught on a piece of broken metal at the back of the car. Professor Sadler ran into it yesterday – and ripped my trouser leg right down so I had to rush back and change my pants. Hopkins: I'm sorry for the cause, but I'm kind of glad you were delayed. This was an interesting telephone conversation. It was with a fellow named Gordon who is the head of the company that made the silver bowl and he just wanted some assurance it was all right and so forth. He's a very, very attractive fellow, but I have just barely met him though. I donʼt know him well at all. Childs: It looked like a beautiful bowl. I trust it's as beautiful as it looked there. Is it? It's a perfect reproduction, isnʼt it? Hopkins: Just a perfect reproduction. It is very beautiful, very beautiful. Childs: I told you ahead of time I wasn't going to get to your dinner. But I did. I was so glad… so thrilled by it. It was wonderful.

THE lineage of all the Tuck families, whose statis­ tics arc more or less fully given in this book, may be fraeed back to ROBERT Tu01r, who settled at "\Vinna­ cm1net, now Hampton, N. H., in the Autumn of 1638. Of bis two sons, Ellwitrd only, who nppoars to have been the younger, emigrutecl with his -parents, and lived in Hampton; and it is the genealogy of his de­ scendants, only, tl1at is here given. Eel ward Tuck married and had two sons, the first dying in chil<l­ hoocl. John, born about the time of his father's death, livecl to mature age, married, and reared a family. Hence, Robert,1 Eclwnrd2 and J ohn,3 each in his own generation, was the sole male rcprcscntatiYc of the family, and a progenitor of a1l the families of goncrations succeeding his own. In consiclerntion of the last named fn:ct, it was · thought proper, in forming n plan of this work, that more space and more minuteness of detail should Le allowed in relntion to these three r<:presentative 111011 PREF.A.CE • . and their affairs, than would be judicious in regard to any in private life, from whom only a part of later g·lillPl'atiorn; had i.;p1·tmg-.

    Book Reviews Lincoln’s Sons. By Ruth Painter Randall. (Boston : Little, Brown, and Company, 1955, pp. mi, 373. Illustrations, bibliography, and index. $5.00.) An impressive demonstration of the objective approach in biography has been made during the past decade by the late James Garfield Randall and Ruth Painter Randall. The concluding number of Randall’s four-volume set, Lincoln the President, is recently from the press and Mrs. Randall’s Lincoln’s Sons is now in print. This last work and its com- panion volume, Mary Lincoln. Biography of a Marriage, published in 1953, cover the domestic life of the Lincolns. It seems incredible that within a period of ten years, by the use of authentic sources, these two writers have been able to completely nullify the generally accepted stories of the Lincoln home life. For sixty years or more William Herndon was considered the outstanding authority in this phase of Lincolniana. However, the place of distinction which Professor Randall occupied among trained historians allowed him to successfully challenge, where others had failed, the validity of Herndon’s widely used compilation of folklore and traditions relating to the Lincoln family. Mrs. Randall’s first book brought to the attention of the reading public the great injustice done to the widow of Abraham Lincoln by the one-time law partner of her hus- band. Now in the author’s second volume she comes to the defense of another member of the Lincoln household, Robert Todd Lincoln, who was also greatly misrepresented by Herndon. While the casual reader will be entertained by the escapades of Willie and Tad, serious students of the Eman- cipator will be especially interested in the first objective biographical study of Robert, the only one of the four Lincoln boys to reach maturity.

    Chapter Eight “A Strong but Judicious Enemy to Slavery”: Congressman Lincoln (1847-1849) Lincoln’s entire public service on the national level before his election as president was a single term in the U. S. House. Though he had little chance to distinguish himself there, his experience proved a useful education in dealing with Congress and patronage. WASHINGTON, D.C. Arriving in Washington on December 2, 1847, the Lincolns found themselves in a “dark, narrow, unsightly” train depot, a building “literally buried in and surrounded with mud and filth of the most offensive kind.”1 A British traveler said he could scarcely imagine a “more miserable station.”2 Emerging from this “mere shed, of slight construction, designed for temporary use” which was considered “a disgrace” to the railroad company as well as “the city that tolerates it,”3 they beheld an “an ill-contrived, 1 Saturday Evening News (Washington), 14 August 1847. 2 Alexander MacKay, The Western World, or, Travels in the United States in 1846-47 (3 vols.; London: Richard Bentley, 1850), 1:162. 3 Letter by “Mercer,” n.d., Washington National Intelligencer, 16 November 1846.
